Short answer: five of the six Cedora bedside tables are W55 x D45cm and the sixth is W60. Inside, the usable drawer width runs from 35.5cm on London to 46.4cm on Liverpool. That is an 11cm gap, and on a piece this small it decides whether a paperback sits flat or has to go in on the diagonal.
Bedside tables are the one piece where a few centimetres inside changes daily use, because everything you put in one is roughly the same size: books, chargers, glasses, a notepad.
The Six, Inside and Out

|---|---|---|
| Liverpool | W60 x D45 x H55.9cm | 46.4 x 36.9 x 22.5cm |
| Newcastle | W55 x D45 x H64.4cm | 42.6 x 34.7 x 15.1cm |
| Bristol | W55 x D45 x H60cm | 42.5 x 37 x 19.2cm |
| Manchester | W55 x D45 x H60cm | 37.5 x 37 x 18.6cm |

Where the 11cm Goes
Liverpool is 5cm wider on the outside, which explains part of it. The rest is case construction. London and Manchester sit at W55 like Bristol, yet Bristol gets 42.5cm of drawer against London at 35.5cm. Thicker sides and a deeper drawer box eat the difference.
A standard paperback is about 13cm wide and a hardback around 16cm. At 35.5cm you fit two side by side with nothing to spare. At 46.4cm you fit two plus a phone, a charger and a pair of glasses without stacking.
Height Matters More Than You Think
The heights split three ways: Liverpool at 55.9cm, three ranges at 60cm, and Newcastle at 64.4cm. That is an 8.5cm spread on a piece that should sit near mattress top.
The rule that works is simple. A bedside table wants to land within about 5cm of the top of the mattress, either way. Measure from the floor to the mattress surface with the bedding on, then choose. A 64.4cm Newcastle beside a low platform bed reads as a tower, and a 55.9cm Liverpool beside a deep mattress disappears.

Everything Is 45cm Deep
Front to back, all six are 45cm. There is no narrow option in the Cedora range, so a bedside in a tight walkway will take the same 45cm slice whichever one you pick. Plan the walking space around 45cm and choose on width and height instead.

What Actually Fits
The 11cm is easier to judge against real objects than in the abstract.
| Item | Approx width | London, 35.5cm | Liverpool, 46.4cm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paperback | 13cm | 2 across | 3 across |
| Hardback | 16cm | 2 across, tight | 2 plus a phone |
| Tablet | 18cm | 1 plus small items | 1 plus a book |
| A4 notepad | 21cm | 1, no room beside | 1 plus a charger |
Drawer depth splits the range the same way. Newcastle gives 15.1cm and Liverpool 22.5cm, which is the difference between a drawer that takes a folded jumper and one that does not.
Two Bedsides and the Wall They Need
A queen bed is 153cm across the mattress. Two 55cm bedsides either side, with a 5cm breathing gap each, needs 273cm of clear wall. Two Liverpool bedsides at 60cm each needs 283cm.
Most Australian main bedrooms have one wall that can take that and one that cannot. Measure before assuming the symmetrical layout is available, because the fallback of pushing a bedside hard against the bed frame reads as a mistake rather than a choice.
The Height Rule in Practice
Mattress top on a Cedora bed frame lands roughly 55cm to 65cm from the floor once a standard 25cm mattress is on it. That is why the bedside heights cluster where they do.
Pair a low bed with the 55.9cm Liverpool bedside and a taller frame with the 64.4cm Newcastle. The 60cm group, Bristol, London and Manchester, sits in the middle and is the safe pick when the bed is not a Cedora frame and you cannot look the number up.
What does not work is choosing on looks alone and finding the drawer front sits above the mattress line. At that point the top of the bedside is no longer reachable from lying down, which is the one job it has.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Cedora bedside table?
Five of the six are W55 x D45cm and Liverpool is W60 x D45cm. Heights run from 55.9cm on Liverpool to 64.4cm on Newcastle, with Bristol, London and Manchester at 60cm.
Which Cedora bedside table has the widest drawer?
Liverpool, at 46.4cm of usable drawer width. London is the narrowest at 35.5cm, an 11cm difference despite the cases being within 5cm of each other.
How high should a bedside table be?
Within about 5cm of the top of the mattress, measured from the floor with the bedding on. That is why the 8.5cm spread across the Cedora range matters more than it looks.
Is there a narrow bedside table at Cedora?
Not in depth. All six are 45cm front to back. Width is where they vary, from 55cm on five of them to 60cm on Liverpool.
